“…Although few previous reports have shown the characteristics of imaging findings of primary hepatic carcinoid tumors owing to their rarity, it has been thought, based on previous reports and our present cases, that the relatively characteristic imaging findings include cystic areas with hemorrhagic components (Takayasu et al 1992 ; Abdel Wahab et al 2006 ; Komatsuda et al 2005 ; Ulusan et al 2005 ; Touloumis et al 2008 ; Imaoka et al 1993 ; Fujino et al 1998 ; Oh et al 1998 ; Kehagias et al 1999 ; Hirata et al 2002 ; Aoki et al 1992 ; Yeung et al 2008 ; Shih et al 2005 ) and early enhanced solid areas (Iwao et al 2001 ; Lin et al 2009 ; Takayasu et al 1992 ; Abdel Wahab et al 2006 ; Komatsuda et al 2005 ; Ulusan et al 2005 ; Touloumis et al 2008 ; Iimuro et al 2002 ; Gao J et al 2011; Shah et al 2007 ).…”

“…MRI is increasingly being used, with improved visualization of carcinoid tumors on T2-weighted images [ 8 ]. Additional information can be gained from nuclear medicine imaging scans, specifically utilizing Technetium-99m isotopes, as was done with our patient [ 9 ]. Finally, if carcinoid is diagnosed postoperatively on histopathology, workup for a primary gastrointestinal site should continue with upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, if these were not performed preoperatively.…”

“…The radiologic characteristics of hepatic primary carcinoid have not been well defined, but the case reports reviewed show that the lesions are typically solid with necrotic components [100][101][102][103][104][105]. Earlier reports have described hepatic metastatic carcinoid lesions as solid, hypervascular masses [106,107].…”
